Creator continued profile. Let’s get a tiny bit personal:
.
– What are your goals as a creator?: To entertain. I create things because I find them entertaining. The way I see it, if I enjoy what I’m creating, then other people will as well.
.
– If you could collaborate with anybody, who would it be and why?: There are many many people I would love to collaborate with I would say, just for the sake of popularity, that I would love to collaborate with Stephen King. His stuff is not only awesome, but if I slapped my name up next to his on a project, that will also up my awesomeness quotient.
.
– Were there any defining moments in your life that have influenced your creative style?: Yes, I teach high school. You see scary stuff in high school. Sometimes I just have to write about it.
.
– If you could have any power from a Comic character, what would it be/why?: You know, so many people ask me this, and I cannot decide on a super power. On the one hand, it would be really cool to fly, but then I’d miss out on getting to turn myself invisible. Invulnerability would come in handy, but then so would telekinesis. So, my simple answer would be, that I would have the power to grant my own wishes. That way, I can just wish up any power I wanted at any given time, and then I wouldn’t have to worry about such things.
.
– Favourite Comic artist of all time/why?: Alex Ross… do I even have to say why?
.
– Favourite Comic writer of all time/why?: Peter David. Love his Hulk run, love his Fallen Angel Series, love what he did with Dark Tower, even love his Star Trek books. Plus, we shopped at the same comic book store until I had to move away.
.
– What do you prefer to snack on when creating a masterpiece?: Cheezits….. sooooooo goooooooood.
.
– Favourite joke: Monkeys don’t ride on llamas.
.
– What happens if you took out a light-saber in water?: When you ignite a lightsaber in water, according to the deleted scene in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, the lightsaber will simply short out and you will then have to wait for it to dry.
.
– If you were to date one Comic character, who would it be/why?: Jubilee, mainly because I had a crush on her when I was 12, and I like to keep the 12-year-old still inside myself happy.
.
– Why do they put holes in crackers?: I believe the true technical reasoning behind it is because with the hole, when the cracker is baked, it doesn’t puff up and become all misshaped. However, my true response to this is, “because sometimes people are insane.”
.
– Likes: Star Wars, Star Trek, superheroes, pizza. Anything else just doesn’t matter.
.
– Dislikes: Reality TV. There could be a much longer list, but my hatred for reality television is so great, there is just no room for anything else.
.
– Any thank you’s/shoutouts?: I would like to thank myself, for without me, none of this would be possible. Shoutout to Mike Dolce and his comic The Sire. You can usually find us both at a table in Artist Alley at cons on the East Coast.

.
– Thank you to James for his interview – Ness 🙂
